When I moved to NYC, the first job I had was graphic designer for a string of copy shops in mid-town called Pro-Print. I'd just come from living in Mississippi for 2 years, so they got a kick out of me being the resident Jethro straight-off-the-farm; they were probably mildly amused I was familiar with indoor plumbing.Throughout my coupla years at Pro-Print I'd always heard a legend that you could see the storefront in the Michael J. Fox 80's "classic"(?) The Secret of My Success; I can't believe it's never occurred to me until right now to get a screengrab of that moment and so here you are.
For some reason, my first week there I literally broke every thing I touched. Computer, printer, 2 copy machines, the fax. My beefy paws touched it, it broke, finally prompting Parish, the copy machine tech guy who was from Trinidad and every single thing he said was funny, to blurt out "Dammit, you hafta be careful with the equipment, you're not back on the farm wrestling hogs Swine Boy!!" From then on, I was "Swine Boy." - XMASTIME 2010
